Exciting Opportunities for Home Repair and Renovation Firms in Detroit!
As the leaves turn and the season for football kicks in, it’s more than just the roar of the crowd filling the air at Ford Field; it’s also the sound of opportunity for local small businesses, particularly those in the home repair and renovation sectors. The Detroit Lions have teamed up with Comerica Bank to roll out an ongoing initiative that is turning heads and opening doors for countless creators and craftsmen around the city!
Boost Your Business with the Small Business of the Game Program
This captivating program, now in its seventh season, continues to make waves since it launched in 2019. The primary aim is to ramp up exposure for small businesses and help them grow right here in our beloved Detroit. Isn’t it just splendid that you can watch your favorite team while supporting local entrepreneurs at the very same time?
Each week during the Lions’ regular season, a lucky small business gets the spotlight at Ford Field. Imagine the thrill of being showcased alongside the action on the field! From in-stadium signage to enthusiastic applause during games, businesses have access to a wealth of resources that can become game-changers for them. Think of it as a personal cheer squad amplifying your brand.
A Smorgasbord of Resources for Success!
Participating in this program comes with a treasure trove of benefits. Not only does your business gain in-stadium visibility, but it will also receive digital and social media promotion through Comerica Bank and the Detroit Lions. Just imagine how that increased online presence can fuel your clientele!
Businesses also get the chance to enjoy ROS (Run of Site) advertising on the Detroit Lions website, game tickets, and even pre-game field passes! These passes offer a unique opportunity to engage with fans and customers alike. This is the perfect chance for renovation and home repair companies to connect with homeowners who might need their expertise!
Meet the Trailblazers of the Season
As the program rolls into the 2025 season, all eyes are on Detroit Flex Defense, the first standout of the season. This innovative company specializes in custom hose and tube solutions for mission-critical environments, setting a prime example for what this initiative can do for local businesses.
And if you’re looking for inspiration, mark your calendars for October 20, which coincides with National Women’s Small Business Month. Evelyn’s Midtown Kitchen—a hands-on culinary school rooted in Detroit—will get its moment to shine. Highlighting female entrepreneurs is a fantastic way the program contributes to community growth!
Support Beyond the Football Field
But hold on! There’s so much more to this story. Over 40 small businesses will benefit from various Comerica initiatives, ranging from collaborations with local sports teams like the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Pistons to the Business $ense Bootcamps aimed at equipping entrepreneurs with essential skills. This educational facet is key in ensuring that small businesses thrive, especially those in the home repair and construction sectors, like Saber Building Services, J.M. & Sons Plumbing and Mechanical, and All Pro Property Solutions.
The Heartbeat of Community Prosperity
The overarching mission of Comerica Bank and the Detroit Lions is crystal clear: to bolster small business growth, reinforcing the fabric of our local economy. Every home remodel, renovation, or repair not only enhances a home but enriches the community’s prosperity. When local businesses succeed, they create jobs, foster innovation, and keep the local economy healthy and resilient.
Future Looks Bright!
